Don't Canonize Obama Just Yet
It's been so long since liberals could claim a world-historical figure as their very own, but their gushing over President Obama's triumph has become ridiculous.

In an address to AIPAC, Tim Pawlenty argued that America cannot rely on deficit spending and still secure its foreign policy objectives.

It wasn't that long ago that Democrats and Republicans could work together for the good of our nation. What has happened to us? David Frum is getting a lot of flack for his "Waterloo" post. His belief that the GOP should have been willing to bargain with Democrats instead of opposing the bill …Did the GOP Have a Choice?

It would be a mistake, when the midterms rolls around, to attribute a Republican sweep to the events of March, 2010. Quantitative researchers predicted this in September of 2009. As you may have heard, the Democratic Congress just passed a big health care bill on a close-to-party-line vote, the …
Congress Could Use a Day Off
Historically, Congress has avoided Sunday sessions. This weekend, Speaker Pelosi should consider that whether the members and staff worship on Sunday (or at all), surely they would benefit from a day of rest. Eric Liddell: Hey, do you not know what day it is? Boy: Yeah. Eric Liddell: …Tea Party Racists Steal the Spotlight
